-- San Francisco 49ers center Marcus Martin suffered an apparent knee injury and was carted from the field during the fourth quarter of a 21-7 victory over the San Diego Chargers. “We don’t have any indication how serious it is,” 49ers Coach Jim Harbaugh said. Martin wrote on Instagram, “What don’t kill me, will only make me stronger! I’ll be back better than ever before, thank you everyone for the well wishes!! Love all y’all. #GRIND #49ers.”
